In Florida: A Fifth Grader brings a Knife to school to protect himself against Antigay Bullies


An 11-year-old boy brought a butcher knife to school in order to protect himself from anti-gay bullies.

The knife was sticking out of his bookbinder and his classmates told the teacher. Once his family was informed, they revealed the reasons behind it.

According to his family, the boy was targeted by bullies. They were attacking him because they believed he's gay. The boy felt that he had no choice but to defend himself. The family also said the administrators at Inwood Elementary School knew about the bullying and did nothing.

The school claimed nothing was ever reported.

Once again, a kid is forced to make dangerous decisions in order to protect his life. Hopefully, Inwood Elementary School will look into this incident and think about what's really going on in their halls.

A child should never have to make this choice to feel safe.
